The love poems of C. P. Cavafy
Compiled and read in English and with extracts from the original Greek by John Theocharis
Introduced by Hallam Tennyson Return often and take me, beloved sensation, return and take me-when the memory of the body awakens, and old desire again runs through the blood.
Cavafy died in Alexandria in 1933. His love poetry, although homosexual in inspiration, has a universal appeal. He is one of a small band of poets whose work has achieved world fame through translation.
